Chapter 250 |
Lucius was sitting in one of the crew's resting rooms of the Naiya.
The prerequisite elements of the God hunting plan were all in place.
Now…just have to wait for the prey to appear.
It was a slow day…really slow.
Lucius held the pendant on his chest and looked at the magnificent universe outside the room window.
Soon…it would soon be time to meet again.
"Is there something wrong?"
Lucius withdrew his eyes…
The door to the room was pushed open.
Lucius sniffed the smell that filled the air. It should be black tea as well as some snacks.
Entertaining vampires with these things, did she do it on purpose?
"Well, indeed." But Lucius was not a picky eater. After all, since having a human palate again, his appetite for blood has also dropped a little.
Just like humans who occasionally eat sweets and such in addition to drinking water for their sustenance, Lucius also did not mind eating some sweets.
Naiya moved a little stiffly with the tray on the table as if there was no intention to leave.
Lucius took a look at the black tea that smelled very good, and after a gentle sip ……
"If anyone can marry you as a wife, it should be the happiest thing, right?"
"Ha? Why do you suddenly say that?" Naiya was stunned.
"Not only is your appearance beautiful, the tea you make is also delicious, that's a massive plus, and you don't even have to worry about a place to live." Lucius put his hand against his chin and surveyed Naiya, whose face turned red
"I'm serious."
"Uh…. Okay then… thanks. I still have to deal with the route of the voyage. So…." Nayo was just about to leave when Lucius grabbed her arm.
"What's with your hand?" It was only now that Lucius noticed the tiny wounds on top of Naiya's arm, which should be smooth and flawless.
Now that Naiya was not in the body of a vampire…
Rather, it was the body of a Celestial. Lucius didn't know how well the celestial race was able to heal itself, but looking at her wound, the answer was obvious.
"It's nothing, I fell accidentally."
Naiya did not dare to look at Lucius.
"Lying is not a thing, the wound on the finger clearly belongs to a knife wound." Lucius glanced at the delicate fruit platter placed on the table and seemed to understand something
"Even though your swordsmanship is flawless, how could you hurt yourself with just a kitchen knife, how stupid."
"I'm not stupid!!! I'm just careless!"
Naiya covered her mouth after retorting a sentence.
"Is that so?"
"First, let's not talk about that! What should we do next? The two siblings I have settled, where is the target? Did you find it?"
Naiya seemed to not want Lucius to guess what she was thinking inside, immediately changed the subject.
"……"
Being brought up with this kind of subject, Lucius's expression also became a little stiff. Hand tucked in the teacup, looking at the ripples on it.
"This…not yet, this universe. Is infinite, even if mankind invented the warp technology, in front of the entire universe, it is still small and pitiful …."
"And then?" For Naiya, this was the second time she saw this kind of uneasy expression on Lucius's face, almost like a small child who cannot find his way home.
"So it's a little ridiculous to say, now I'm a little scared, what if there is no such Celestial that can control time existing in the universe, what if I can't find it?!"
The system does have the time travel system for exchange, but the ten trillion despair points made Lucius put this plan at the bottom of the list for now.
The once-feared demon king, revealing this kind of expression, must have been unbelievable.
After removing the guy who would do anything for the desperate souls of humans, what was left of him?
Naiya walked up behind Lucius and suddenly hugged him.
It was just like when he met this man again.
"It will always be found." Naiya sniffed the familiar scent and felt the heartbeat without body heat
"I will follow you until the moment you finish everything, I think the others are also ……"
"……"
Lucius looked at the black tea that was gradually losing its temperature on the table.
"Sorry, Naiya, can wait a little before letting go?"
Naiya, who thought that she would let herself go, was slightly surprised to hear these words.
What was it like to like a person? Lucius did not know, but in the bath in the blood of the Dead River, the only way to make Lucius feel happy was by killing a human.
But now…the touch of the young girl leaning on herself, the smell of her body, and feeling her breath.
This feeling of warmth that pervades the heart was the first time Lucius felt it.
Living in a hard life all the time, it feels like he was going to break down.
He wanted to relax a little, but every time he recalled the view of his sister killed, it always surged his endless hatred.
But now, this sense of warmth made Lucius's emotion flooded with a hint of wanting to greedily enjoy the feeling.
Enjoying the warmth that the girl brought to himself.
And little by little, he became sleepy.
A little bit of sleep should be okay… With this thought, Lucius closed his eyes.
In space, there was no concept of time. The sun did not rise, nor does it set.
As for how long he slept, Lucius himself was not sure.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw Naiya, the quiet and beautiful appearance of the young girl with her eyes closed.
Eh? The moment Lucius opened his eyes, Naiya also opened her eyes.
The pupils, which had turned golden, locked eyes with Lucius's scarlet eyes.
Lucius sat up from the bed and covered his forehead with a side-eye glance, only to find that Naiya seemed to maintain his posture.
He, on the other hand, had slept on top of the young girl's lap all night.
This…was not a shallow enjoyment.
"How long did I sleep?"
It was too relaxing. That was Lucius's first thought when he woke up.
"Two…three hours, I think." Naiya wiggled his fingers and calculated
"A little rest should be fine."
"There's no resting time."
Lucius stood up and looked out the window of the bright space, the ship flew to some unknown galaxy.
It was necessary to find the Celestial related to time to do so.
"Naiya, where is the territory of the Celestials?"
"I…immediately…" she tried to stand up but found that her own body seemed no different from a human's after being turned into Celestial, and her legs had become paralyzed from too long a period of inactivity, so she couldn't stand at all.
Lucius reached out and grabbed Naiya, who was about fall, pulling her body into his arms.
"!" Once again, the four eyes were facing each other, so close to each other..
Making Naiya a little uncomfortable.
